islam will decline in the next 50 years

The reason islam grew in the last century is that the west was occupied with the cold war. To those who claim that islam is the fastest growing, I want to refer them to an article written by a muslim shiekh entitled : Christian missionaries sweeping the islamic world : , written by Shiekh Salman Al-Odeh . Young muslims have the duty to wake up and realize that the islamic world lags behind every body else , and that the only chance for them to cope with civilization is to look at islam as a form of social reform movement of historic nature , and not as something from God they have to follow as is .This way they will become open minded and their life style will be more accepted to rest of the civilized world .
